The Institute Internship is a three- to five-month commitment. Interns work 5 days a week, and also participate in occasional weekend activities and events. Institute Interns develop comprehensive skills in nature-based education and activities and practical knowledge for employing those skills in working with children with special needs. Internship Skill Areas ?
